Here he dropped into vein yss il
seemed looking Darwinward. He des-
cribed the fish with its vertebra hori-
zontal with the earth, the fowl with
the vertebra at an obtuse angle, the
quadruped with its vertebra parallel
with the earth but removed above il
and set upon four pillars, and also the
genealogical or brain developments.
Then appeared man with the vertebra
at right angles with the earth. But
when he came to show that man in his
earliest embryo state could not be dis
tinguished from jelly fish, at a later
period from bird and still later from
a quadruped, he asserted that when
the boundary line was reached for full
development then must have been the
first of God.

the sea, evaporation etc., all of which
were understood by the inspired
writers. Feel. l, and 8. He said
it is now generally believed by astron-
omers, that our whole planetary sys-
tenn is moving around great center.
That center was the constellation
Pleiades. This was referred to as a
well known fact 5000 years
ago, Job 1881. ''Canst thou bind the
sweet influences of Pleiades or loose
the bands of Orion?"
Astronomers agree that the earth
and the whole planetary system is go

YESTERDAYS SESSION.
There is something of thinning
out of the people, yet, the crowds at
the Tabernacle seem not to diminish.
Last evening, there was not an avail
able seat left. All the classes are well
attended and the prospect is bright for
a grand wind-up.
The subject Of the mornings lesson
was Bible Interpretation. The in
depreciation of the bible means the
science by which we are enabled to
understand the true meaning of the
holy scriptures.
There are many difficulties to pre-
vent a true Interpretation of the bible
First, that the language is ancient
and foreign; style is fgurative and
oriental subjects are varied, profound
and supernatural as referring to the
trinity incarnation, etc. The doctrines
are incomplete, and by various writers.
There are apparent discrepancies from
lack of knowledge ON our part.
These are prejudices because of
our imperfect character. These
are some of the difficulties.
To overcome these difficulties We must
have some help in Interpretation. We
should use common sense and have
love for the word and be willing
to submit to its teachings, have
n spirit of candor and a general knowl-
of the Bible and with all these helps
we should seek the spirit in which to
put them to successful use. We
should understand how to interpret.
We should explore the Bible, analyze
passages, compare passages, and note
how word interprets word, ascertain
the character and motives of the
writer. Should hold to previous con-
clusions until we find grounds on
which we give them. And above all
we should pray to our God for his help
in all things.
The uses of reviews.-Review in
order to fix in the memory certain; to
to get rounded view of the subject;
to find what the scholar has learned
and to aid the memory. Review any
where in the lesson. Simplify and
repeat in order to make the dullest
pupil understand. There are many
ways of reviewing. By the use Of
topics; by questions; by outlines; by
conversation; by analysis; by COM
parison; by aerostical writings; by
using the blackboard; by variations;
by pictures, etc. We must use tact to
our pupils and arouse their
most intense interest.
